About
Bump in the Night is a single-player horror game where you are tasked with investigating a haunted location that features one of many unique ghosts and a multitude of different scares.
Explore a range of haunted locations, each with distinct map features, challenges, and varying difficulty levels. Certain ghosts may find it easier to use their unique abilities on specific maps or in different ways, and each location offers unique clues for certain types of evidence.

Bob and Susan are at your beck and call! Assign tasks, distribute equipment, and specify areas for investigation as you see fit. Although they're capable of conducting autonomous exploration, strategically directing them towards suspected ghost locations increases the chances of making important discoveries. You can't leave the HQ but they can.
And you can trust them. Right? Sure.
Your team has established a command center in one of the rooms on-site, serving as the operational hub for the mission. From here, you can take command by delegating tasks, orders and equipment to your NPC investigators. Monitor strategically placed cameras through the displays, watching out for paranormal activity. Additionally, document any evidence by taking photos and logging in your journal
Each Ghost has a unique set of three types of evidence it can trigger
Ghosts have distinct personalities. The Trasgo likes to throw objects more than other ghosts. Ectophages like to mess with electronics. Shadows, unsurprisingly, like the darkness. Each of the other ghosts have their own likes, dislikes, and quirks as well.
Finally, each ghost has a unique ability or behavior that typically comes out later in a mission. You'll need to figure out for yourself...
With these three layers of ghost behavior, clever players will be able to figure out what ghost they're faced with - even if no direct evidence presents itself. However, be cautious, as a wide range of events can still unfold that are applicable to all ghosts.
A common staple of the paranormal investigation genre is the "hunt" where the ghost builds up to an active state where it becomes actually dangerous.
The ghosts in BITN can indeed enter such a state, but don't think that you are safe outside of those times - far from it. Keep aware, keep vigilant, because death can come for you and the investigators under your command in unexpected ways. Remember, you're in the ghost's territory for the entire duration of your mission.
Every investigation is unique, ensuring no two experiences are the same. If you come across an especially intriguing sequence of events, you have the option to save, replay, and share the seed that generated it.
Rest and restore your faculties at your paranormal investigation firm's office between missions. Read up on lore, pour yourself some coffee, pet some cats.
Twitch integrations are all the rage these days, and BITN is no different! Let your viewers take command of Bob and Susan, giving them orders with chat commands.
Not a streamer? No problem! You can enable your Steam friends to control Bob and Susan via Steam chat messages, if you so desire.
For those not faint of heart, a second level of chat control (both Steam and Twitch) can be enabled allowing viewers to trigger scares and attacks.

I loved this game since the demo first came out and it is even better in its full release.
A very interesting ghost hunting game, So if Observation duty and a ghost hunting game had a baby this is exactly what you will get ... Very promising and i m really looking forward to see more about this game https://youtu.be/A6lvc_duWXA
For an early release game, there's a good solid foundation here. If you like ghost hunting games, you're likely going to enjoy this one. I know I have. It's been great fun to play, test out all the features, check out new maps as they get added. Can't wait to see all the things the Dev's can and should do with this game.
Do you like spooky investigation games? Do you like cats? This is the game for you. It is a mix of phasmophobia and observation duty. You control NPC's to discover the ghost type! With the money you win from guessing the right ghost, you can adopt kitties and fill the office with them! I enjoy every moment playing this game, even when I get scared... which is a lot! Highly recommend!
Bob repeatedly jump scares me 10/10
This is a very enjoyable ghost hunting experience from the eyes of a supervisor of two very iffy employees. Love Bob and Susan, but anyone who has played it know, they are a liability! Jokes aside, the game is great, the scares are fun, and I love the unique aspect of delegating tasks to the ghost hunters and having them take care of things while I monitor. Additionally, the chat integration on Twitch and the voice commands are excellent and the Devs have even said they are working to makke them better and more functional. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a ghost hunting experience where you get to be Van Mommy/Daddy. !bob go away
If you ever wanted a ghost hunting game to have more strategy, this is the game for you. Instead of getting hands on and personal with each investigation, you're tasked with coordinating your team to the right rooms with the right equipment. You can keep an eye on them with the cameras, and they may also call out any evidence they find over the radio. While this is currently in Early Access and needs more polish and content, it has some really great core features. My favourite is being able to vocally direct my teammates to move to other rooms, pick up or place items. Plus, you can spend your hard earned money on adopting cats!!
Really fun game with a lot of interesting mechanics. the tutorial is pretty good but I still managed to miss some stuff at the beginning but that's a "me not paying attention" problem. Use your EMF Meter, Spirit box, laser grid and ghost paper to try to figure out what entity you are dealing with. Also keep an eye on the monitors so you don't miss the stuff that is happening as it is as important as using your devices. it is a balancing act between directing/coordinating your team members and paying attention to your surroundings. In between the rounds of engaging ghost hunting you can enjoy the office. the devs poured their heart into this game. the amount of small little things they put into the office area alone is crazy. you are stressed out because of a day of intense ghost hunting? don't worry, just relax with your cat, or adopt even more cats because one can never have enough cats. I literally spent 15 min on a small mini game that is installed on the office pc (good thing I'm the boss so nobody can complain when I play games during working hours hehe) They even created music tracks for the game (with vocals and everything). performance is really good too, I didn't run into any problems. But beware, after a while you will realize that... yes, there are scary entities in the game, but...the real scary situations will happen when Bob sneaks up on you again. Susan seems to be nice but Bob is really pushing his luck by jump-scaring me ò.ó... next time I will throw the spirit box in his face; but that also makes it way more satisfying when Bob dies during the investigation (of course by pure coincidence, not my fault and I totally not because he snuck up on my and jump scared me again *cough cough*.. unlucky accidents just happen and he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time) 10/10 would kill Bob again <3 (for the streamers: viewers can interact with the game, no twitch extention needed)
You join us in the middle of our Halloween month of Horror, we've played most of the good titles with the newest biggest ones still to come. Dropping on the proverbial mat on the penumtimate week of Horror we had this GEM of a game sent over. What appears to be a standard genre of Ghost Hunting and discovery game soon changes into a fright fest of panic and mayhem. Our interns Bob & Susan play their role superbly and with the option of allowing stream chat to give them directions and control their actions, through the Twitch intergration. The instant you step into the lobby you feel like your running a pro outfit, messages from work and colleagues fly into the game via computer messages, direct prints to the printer and the like. The Computer is a fully fleshed out portal, allowing full customisation, along with a music player that plays tunes you unlock as you discover various spooks and spirits. There are even a couple of games included to play whilst you plan your next investigation. Want more? OK, when your friends have finished controlling the lights, fans etc via stream chat, petted your cat goodbye, eaten some Halloween candy, had a slurp of coffee and selected / purchased the right tools for the next job from the Spookstore on the PC, it's time to set off on your investigation. This is where the awesome jumpscares, madness, mayhem begin. It starts off nice and quite in the varying locations and then boom it's all hands on deck, DOTS machines, EMF meters, Ghost Books and many more impliments of detection, leading your brave co workers via an awesome White Board, showing the map and position of Bob and Susan and items strewn around. Get the evidence, stay alert, listen to their information they relay both visually and vocally and get that haunting identified. Oh! You'll spend a lot of time in the store cupboard, the screams will make you shrink down in your chair, but Boy! are you in for a ride of terror and jumpscares. My only critique is the lack of having a pet Goldfish instead of the Cat, very important to us Paranormal investigators, is the correct choice of pet ;) The mechanics and general content make this game stand out a mile from the run of the mill similar genred games. Not to mention it has been created by just two talented guys who also work full time. We were blessed to have them drop by our stream and let us know a bit about them, the future plans and the current game. Easy buy for the very competitive price.
Do you like ghost hunting games but hate getting 3-4 people together? Have you thought your fellow players were idiots? Are you tired of your friends getting you killed? Come play Bump in the Night and have Bob and Susan let you down instead! At it's heart it is a clue based guessing game where you identify the spook, however you have two helpers who enter the house for you. They are not the brightest, but they will do whatever you tell them, so its your fault when you lead them into the haunt. There are many many scripted haunting events that will surprise and terrify you, from unique hunting mechanics to jump scares in your "safe room" (it is not very safe). You have a closet to hide in, and little else to defend yourself as you unmask what ghost it is. So to recap, you are alone in a "safe room", with two (2) idiots (so I guess not actually alone) and one (1) homicidal ghost that wants to end your's, Bob's and Susan's whole career, you've got this! Finally, there are cats, pet them!
